Apple out with new products!

Another company with a fabulous last decade, a spotty prior decade, but the original maker of the home computer, . The new iPad Air is going to weigh one pound, which is 453 grams to you and I, be 20 percent thinner than the iPad 2 and it has the same chip as the recently launched iPhone 5S. Faster, lighter, better battery time. And have a ten inch screen, that is 25.4 centimetres to you and I! And much, much better graphics than ever before. What is also interesting to note, by Apple's calculations, is that the iPad is used 4 times more than any other tablet. Tim Cook in the presentation last evening our time (which I "watched" here -> Apple's Fall Product Event) said that the market was skeptical that the iPad could compete against the netbook (remember the small laptops), what has subsequently happened is that they, Apple, have sold 170 million iPads. Let the consumer decide, right?


A new iPad mini was announced too, a better processor, better graphics and of course a better battery life. To be brutally honest, I think that for most home users an iPad is all they need, mail, the internet and apps for doing different and out there things of their particular interest. I have seen with my own eyes people make the shift seamlessly and enjoy the product experience a whole lot more. I know that the product is a beautiful one, people who have them tell others how wonderful it it, to the point where it becomes a little nauseating, hence the term Apple fanboy. Fangirl sounds a little derogatory, or not? These beautiful products are available in major territories (where rich people live and the demand is high) in early to mid November. Here, I guess hopefully by Christmas.


At the beginning of the product launch event, and the company has a tendency to do this, they unveiled the newer Mac's. The kind that is allergic to cheese and pickles. Rather the seemingly overpriced laptops. But I will let you in on a secret, they are probably worth every single cent. The updates are few and far between, the move is easier than you think, but more importantly the performance (better) is absolutely astonishing. I am amazed by the quality each and every day of my Mac. It is truly a beautiful machine that deserves more airtime and the users prior were all right. The first few weeks are hard, you make mistakes, but I tell you, it is worth it. So on that note, I cannot wait for the new operating system, OS X Mavericks is what it is called. I will let you know how it goes!


The stock price? Tell me that you cared more about the product release than the share price and I might have to look at you funny. Well, Apple closed (including the after hours move) around flat. I guess that the market got it right then, moving north in recent days ahead of the product launch, expect another one in around two months time.
